Streetlight Poems - Poems about Streetlight

Zaila. Can’t make a Nickname out of that, But oh you can, Super-Z, you ‘member that. I rather not, There isn’t much to remember, I didn’t live much. Oh, but that coffee table, Mhm, yeah, I know the one, The one I’d play dolls under with my cousin, With Barbies too big to fit in my toy car, Then you remember how dark It’d get in...

I walked beneath the streetlight, then, slow paused; the yellow phosphorescent glow had caused a strange shadow to hover above mine; hesitate a while, then did intertwine; a margin which it long ago transgressed; an unwanted, and uninvited guest. Streetlights, nightlights, the shadow is the same; it is my shadow, mine, I am to blame....

it isn’t all hard, the world I mean. there are soft things, too. it isn’t all coffee stains, shattered glasses, dead cats, and broken streetlights but sometimes it just gets so dark in the middle of the street late, on a Tuesday night that I forget about fresh baked croissants, my mother, alive cats, and stars. There are a lot of those out...

On the downhill road , Where I'm standing, Together with the streetlight Beside me In the whisperings of darkness . I keep on staring at the streetlight, Wish you are the streetlights, Which guide my lonely shadow to home ....

Walking the lone sidewalk with one streetlight. The only sounds being my thoughts And the noises of the void The pale moonlight shines with light That the street and I lack The streetlight flickers I flicker back ___________________ September 27, 2017 Poetry/Free Verse/Choose a Topic - Hope...

The Christmas lights can’t shine bright enough To overcome her pain and the screams inside Loneliness merging with past replaying ongoing And the images will not go away with any storm She tries to stay in the moment, but she still cries Pleading for answers, kept from her far too long She’d like to run away in the soft snow instead And...

On the sidewalk standing in the rain the old man is a wounded dove. Longish white hair: wet feathers grounded in a storm. The rain is heavy and repeats itself, like buckets of water thrown out of windows. The old man stands there holding a memory or a wish. Under the streetlight his wet hair glistens like tinfoil. The downpour is a creature that’s eating him...

Feel like a prostitute, only used at night Never appreciated, I don't think its right People make use of me with little thought at all Without me they'd be in the dark, could trip or fall Never worry about me, couldn't care if I'm hurting But! don't they complain when I'm not working Stuck out here in the weather...

Silent and still sits the streets at night The darkness swallows all but a light It stands alone with an eerie glow, Casting its shadows on the creatures below. They crawl and burrow, Seek and Creep, All while light has gone to sleep. The force of the night in its silver gown, While a blanket of stillness covers the town. Yes, silent and still...

You were a child, without the hindrance of responsibility or doubt of what tomorrow would bring. A beast on the kickball field, and yet a whining baby when the streetlights went off. Always fighting sleep like it was the neighborhood bully. You were a clown, dressed like your daddy. Trying to make your mother laugh like he did. You got better at it every day. You were a gift, at...

your heart trembles in my hand as our toes lie in the sand our eyes meet under the night sky adoration i can see in your eyes your breath on my neck your hands on my chest hands held under starlight smiles last forever tonight street lights too bright sneaking around tonight you are mine heart body and soul you fit me perfect like...

Look in the rear view, now I've gotta clear view Most beautiful landscape I've ever seen and I've seen 'em around the world baby girl, better believe No feeling like having you next to me. I mean it respectfully; I hate the distance When i'm on the road and you're not there- I won't admit it; too often caught up in...
